Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Handelman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Happypants (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Handelman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to All I Do is Win. Happypants is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Avenged Sevenfold-Nightmare. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
